I was here and took a few pics, all with my phone. First was this rad pano, from the tippy-top of (i think) Marine A. I gave the SiloCity Rocks fuckers close to 1000 dollars, so I make it my business to sneak up here every boom days to try and get my money’s worth. ![http://i.imgur.com/qQh0XIm.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/qQh0XIm.jpg) Then some twat went and fell and is CERTAINLY going to make this more difficult next year. ![http://i.imgur.com/M9dFYHh.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/M9dFYHh.jpg) Here’s a door, I just thought it looked cool ![http://i.imgur.com/nT88AyK.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/nT88AyK.jpg) This friggin’ thing scared the piss out of me when I stumbled upon it. I assume it was some art related thing, as it was not there last year: ![http://i.imgur.com/JIm9hvd.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/JIm9hvd.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/cXoGPxq.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/cXoGPxq.jpg) More art: ![http://i.imgur.com/5jKfRYW.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/5jKfRYW.jpg) There was still snow inside this building in places. This ladder was in pretty great shape. About 80’ up or so. ![http://i.imgur.com/FuZ0ZN4.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/FuZ0ZN4.jpg) Some guy named Peter Potter snapped this pic of my panhead, then posted it to facebook. It’s sort of weird, too much HDR, but whatever. I mean, who does HDR in 2015…? ![http://i.imgur.com/y4wWJEA.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/y4wWJEA.jpg) ---

I just recently got sent a survey from kickstarter about that. Fuck those guys. I’ll probably never take part in another one of those things again because there clearly isn’t a good way to ensure the recipients are fulfilling their promises to donors. On topic, what happened to the dude that fell? ---

From reddit: > I was 20 feet from the guy who fell, pretty sure he just broke his arm, not bad considering he fell about 40 feet inside a marine tower. I honestly thought I saw a guy die. > This is exactly why people shouldn’t explore without permission. > Something gave out, I heard the metal bend/break sound and saw him drop from God knows how far, at least 40 feet and he got lucky he didn’t land on something puncturing a lung or even skull. > I don’t think folks should be climbing around on private property without proper insurance anyway. ---

Major melt off with the winds that pushed the ice out into open water Saturday and Sunday. ![http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/modis/buf_img/t1.15109.1555.LakeErie.143.250m.jpg](http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/modis/buf_img/t1.15109.1555.LakeErie.143.250m.jpg) ---
